Frankly, there is no rhyme or reason for their inaction. I’m glad that the blogging community is almost at a consensus regarding this issue.

I find it absurd that the Commission feels the downtown stadium will not re-energize the area.

That is to say that the thousands of fans delving into the CBD interior will not dine or shop nearby, property values will not rise, it will not spur new development interest in the area, public transit traffic will not increase, and newly created jobs resulting from the stadium are not relevant.

So if two intelligent, rational persons in Miami realize this situation is crazy, why don’t our representatives realize it or listen to us.

I think the City and UM need to figure out how to get Canes football to stay, and then stick to making the Marlins stadium in downtown work out.
